User's Manual. Volume 1. Boundary Layer Integral Matrix Procedure (BLIMP)

Abstract : A complete description of the Boundary Layer Integral Matrix Procedure (BLIMP) computer code is given, including descriptions and explanations of the program input preparation, interpretation of output, special output for debugging purposes, and a list and definitions of the Fortran variables. Three sample problems are included, ranging in complexity from air flow over a flat plate to air flow over an ablating reentry vehicle nosetip and heat shield composed of three different surface materials. A section on changing program dimensions is also included.
